It's not quite that clear-cut even for CoC though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5825158

I'm not sure what you mean. The post you linked to is pure flame-bait that furthers little meaningful discussion. There is room in the App Store for both "time vs. money"-type freemium games and everyone-pays-up-front games. Sure, some people will burn out on freemium games, but I myself have burned out (a bit) on "pay up front" games (I've spent hundreds, if not thousands on Steam on games I have never played...) At least with freemium games I only have to open my wallet after I've decided I really like it.
Why in the hell have you spent "hundreds, if not thousands" of dollars on games you have never played?
Steam Sales make people do crazy things...
